      Couldn’t agree more Especially when the Pine Phone Pro is improving every year since its has came out and with Posh shell and Waydroid nothing will stop Linux from succeeding in the modern era

        As far as I know, it is still reliant on the whims of Google through shenanigans with AOSP, and of course having to use a Pixel.

        Linux offers a more solid and independent foundation, and while it is less polished yet, to me it’s the only real way out in the long run.

        Still, GrapheneOS is a big step in the right direction - hope it wouldn’t come across as me being against the project.

          They’ve signed with an OEM (still secret atm, but the best guess seems to be Motorola?) who will produce the first flagship GrapheneOS device sometime this or next year iirc. Supposed to be revealing the manufacturer next month. That’ll at least take some of the Google dependency by having to use Pixels.

          Yup, if enough people switch to graphene big G will fuck them over. Exiting entirely is the only long term solution.
